All,


Can anyone give me some advice on rod ends?

I want to use them for some adjustable trailing arms on my rotoflex rear end - and am looking at the loading figures as to what will be best.

They're rated at anything from 5,000lb to 30,000lb - to me 2.3 tons sounds like a lot of force - and 15 tons sounds wildly excessive - but I like the idea of over engineering this anyway!

It also seems to me that going up a size from 7/16" to 1/2" (I'm thinking 1/2 x 5/8) will be better economically - as they are cheaper yet are able to take more force. Assuming I can just drill out the holes in the brackets that will work well...
